MashHacks: Travel Presented by Emirates Airline is a one-day hackathon focusing on innovation in the travel industry.

As St. Augustine once said, “The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.”

What developments will revolutionize the way we think about travel in the next decade?

On Saturday, March 22, programmers, designers and tech buffs will join forces in Boston at hack/reduce to create the next big travel app.

The day will commence with idea pitches and formation of teams with up to four members. Hacking will begin immediately after, with presentations to the judges and prizes at the end of the day.

We’ll supply the grub and caffeine, you bring your computer and creativity.

Judges will be looking for apps that have the potential to shape the way we travel in the future.

Teams can be no larger than four (4) people; any person can only be a member of one (1) team and, if participating as part of a team, cannot participate as an individual. Once a team has been registered, its members cannot be changed or substituted.

A majority of your work must be developed on premise at hack/reduce.

Must be open sourced following the event under an open source license selected by the Contest Entities (defined below), unless Contest Entities elect to negotiate a commercial license.
